Bacon and sausage sandwiches were provided by Elaine and Laura to feed the anticipating viewers.

During the depths of the recession in 2009, many small businesses were struggling to survive; The BDO Stoy Hayward Industry Watch Report estimated that 32,300 businesses failed in 2009. Many would be daunted at the prospect of launching a business during this difficult time, but Exeter based telesales company, Fix247 Ltd, did just that and have become a success with the help of Basepoint.
